#1766, "Kobolds + Stupidity = Frustration"


          

Okay, so, here's how my sorry tale of woe goes:

I start up Carrion Fields, tired once again of the superficiality of World of Warcraft. I create myself a new character, and sally forth, ready to bring destruction and death to all who stand in my wake (ie I didn't roll a pickpocket thief this time )

Armed with an adventurous streak a mile wide, I head to the kobold warrens, and get to murderin' and explorin'. On my travels I happen to find a pile of gems hidden in the caves, which I duly yoink. I think nothing of these gems until I get back to town - I can't sell them. Oh well, whats one space in the inventory.

Fast forward to level 13. I reorganise my inventory after a death (alas, to be pwned by someone who knows what they're doing and is sporting about it, which means you can't even complain about them! ), which involves holding the gems.

Oh dear.

I now find myself in the unenviable position of having a hand full of what I can only assume are sticky tar-coated kobold gems. No shield, no lockpicks, no offhand weapons, all are now prevented due to uninvited hand-diamonds. I go back to the kobold warrens, and apart from discovering interesting notions on truth and weaponry, find no mention of how to unburden oneself of unpleasantly clingy jewellery.

So, essentially... Can I get some hints on how to regain the use of my off-hand? Please? I'm going to assume it's not a bug, because these things don't usually seem to be, but for a crazy mini-quest it's confounded my simple mind. So yeah, give help please!

Try going to a healer in town and doing "heal uncurse gems". Helpfile on removing curses: http://www.carrionfields.org/display.html?hid=451&osea=uncurse

I should've guessed. A typically simple answer for a typically retarded me

Cheers very much!

1) If RP is compatible with doing so, ask a PC with the Remove Curse supplication (healers and paladins).

2) At a town/cabal healer, 'heal uncurse gems' assumes you wish to pay cash. 'heal uncurse gems <item>' allows you to barter something else of value for the curse removal service.

It's also worth looking into the other things healers can do. There's a room in the Academy dedicated to teaching this, and you can walk up to any NPC healer and type 'heal' to see a list of services.
